2009 Nmra Paul Wiley

Packing a fresh bullet from Roush Competition Engines, Paul Wiley wasn't playing at Bowling Green. However, he did start off in the middle of the qualifying pack thanks to a 9.64/141 pass. Paul has run Real Street longer than anyone in the class, so it's nice to see him pushing toward the top. That's just what he did when it counted. He took out returning racer Craig Baldwin in the first round, before blowing away Kevin Scott with a 9.44/142 pass that showed he can run with the big dogs. He took that swagger to the finals, but Tim Matherly cut down the Tree and ran the low e.t. of the weekend to spoil Paul's storybook ending. View Related Article
